AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that allows for quick removal and replacement of sprinkler heads in an inground system. It is designed to fit snugly in the housing and is easily driven by a gear system. The device has multiple threads at both ends and is easily installed. The technical effect is a more efficient and effective method of repairing and maintaining sprinkler systems.

Problems solved by technology

Impact type sprinkler heads are subject to frequent malfunction because of the exposed mechanisms.
As a result they are subject to dirt, grime, and grass build-up which can inhibit the operation of the impulse mechanisms.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The following detailed description represents the best currently contemplated mode for carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general purposes and principles of the invention. This is a single sleeve that when inserted into an existing inground sprinkler housing and supported buy new gear driven sprinkler heads, changes the entire complexity of the lawn sprinkling system. The purpose of this invention is such that it allows a person to remove old generation impact or impulse type sprinkler head from its housing FIG. 4 E in an Inground sprinkler system and insert My sleeve FIG. 5 A which allows a gear-driven sprinkler head FIG. 5 F to be threaded into it, changing the system from impulse to gear-driven. This invention is a cylindrical shaped sleeve hollow inside with protrusions running the length of the sleeve FIG. 1 detail A and FIG. 2 detail AA and has threads at both ends FIG....

Abstract

This invention relates to a sprinkler head conversion sleeve / base member made of durable plastic, it is comprised of a cylindrical sleeve having an opening at the upper end with an external thread for attachment to a gear driven sprinkler head. The lower end of said sleeve having an external thread for attachment to the internal threads of an in-ground sprinkler housing. The open bottom of the sleeve receives water from the lower chamber of the existing sprinkler housing with no direct connect to a pressurized water system, water enters from either the bottom or the side orifice with no additional plumbing. The sleeve also supports internal protrusions which facilitate the mechanical operation of a gear driven sprinkler head used in conjunction with my sleeve The gear driven head referenced numerous times in this application is not part of this application. The embodiment of this invention is a single sleeve with characteristics outlined above and in the claims and description.

For Lawn Sprinkler Head Conversion.[0006]For purposes of irrigating lawns there are currently 2 types of sprinkler heads used. One is the old-generation impact sprinkler head, the other is the more current gear-driven sprinkler head. My invention was created, designed and built by the inventor 37 CFR 5.2 provides a system for converting impact sprinkler systems to gear-driven systems within an existing Inground housing.[0007]This invention is a device / sleeve for changing impact sprinkler heads to gear-driven rotary heads without digging up the existing housings. Impact type sprinkler heads are subject to frequent malfunction because of the exposed mechanisms. As a result they are subject to dirt, grime,...
